BigBlockKid Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 being new to these Monster Trucks (Savage 4.6) I was wondering what make of fuel you guys use? I`m currently using Model techics @ 25% only because thats what was supplied with the RTR pack i got when I ordered my Savage.. i dont want a full scale debate on which fuel is best (reading other posts) but would like a pointer in the right direction........ and does anyone know any lhs that stock COOL POWER FUEL (as this is the brand i use in my helicopters) it hasnt got such a spirity smell out of the bottle like this car fuels have or are they different????

Merlin Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Personally i use O'Donnell 25% Race mix, i think its superb, if i can't get o'donnell, i use tornado 25% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 i use byron or odonnel tends to be the best stuff, well byron and odonnel are the same lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7zark7 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I've used modelsport in the past and its nice and consistent, I have moved over to Tornado recently though. It seems nice but to be honest, if its loud and smells nice and makes the engine go round I'm not too bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waz Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Personally i use O'Donnell 25% Race mix, i think its superb, if i can't get o'donnell, i use tornado 25% ← Exactly as above, have also used prosynth, it was good, ran the engine nice and cool but I didn't like so much oil everywhere. Modeltechnics is crap, used it once, never again......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 You want to be using 25% Tornado fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Blue Thunder, O'Donnells or Byron's are all regarded as the best fuels avaliable. I use O'Donnells 25% for the LSt-though Losi recomend Blue Thunder-heard it makes the engine dirtier or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Blue Thunder is pretty much one of the worst fuels available. It coats the engine in this stuff that does absolutly nothing for it apart from clog it up, makes it damm near impossible to tune and bungs the exhaust up. As someone has mentioned before anyone running Blue Thunder always had loads more issues with their engines than everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I quickly changed to O'Donnells after my first quart of Blue Thunder-it made the LST run way too hot and was so dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 O'Donnalls isn't bad at my LHS it is more expensive than Tornado though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 It is stocked at my LHS along with Blue Thunder so the choice was simple after seeing the results of Bue Thunder. Losi must be getting paid by Blue thunder for them to recomend their fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Tornado, get rid of the technics stuff I used it for years,u won't beleve how crap it is once you start running tornado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Blue thunder is made by dynamyte, who re-badge the Mach.26 which is in the lST, thats why they are pushing it. Its a Crap fuel, i've herd of loads of cases were its making the one way slip due to the high castor oil content, and it stains the internal components of you engine.

dazzi220 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 i heard crap about it to merlin, i use 25% tornado in savvy and 16% o'donnels in menace and evo, best fuels out imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyntrblue Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 (edited) i use "magnum 20% helicopter fuel" its the best fuel i ever used, i tryed blue thunder, ran one tank a fuel and threw the rest away (what a waste of good money), tryed model technics but that is just a messy nasty goop.....lol but this stuff is awsome, runs wonderfully, engine runs at a good temp, vertualy no build up of oily goop. tbh i wont use anything else again Edited June 12, 2005 by wyntrblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
